How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 23 = 22.54
- Check: Work backwards: 22.54 ÷ 23 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/23, so part = 98 × 23 ÷ 100 = 22.54. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*23. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
22.54 is the 98% share of 23. The remaining 2% is 0.46, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 23 by 98% gives 45.54 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.46. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.9108, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
